Hot Flashes & Menopause

Unexpected bust of heat from hormonal imbalance making women think they are having an anxiety attack or even a heart attack. Fear triggers the body’s flight-or-fight response to releases stress hormones, which make menopause symptoms last longer and dampens sexual desire.
While there are constant fluctuations of progesterone and estrogen in a woman’s body, early stage perimenopause makes the ovaries erratic; in an attempt to kick-start them through a biofeedback mechanism, the hypothalamus and pituitary glands send extra estrogen to the ovaries. The result is a condition called “estrogen dominance,” which causes blood vessels to dilate and constrict, severely affecting body temperature.
